TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Painsec.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Painsec is a locality in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Painsec is located at 46.1044°N, 64.6415°W.
Painsec holds a quiet, unassuming position along the Atlantic coast, where the air carries a persistent salinity that softens the edges of the horizon. It lies 12.2 km east of Moncton, NB (from Moncton, NB: bearing 87°T), and is situated 15.2 km south-south-west of Shediac. The land near Scotts Hill rises with a subtle, deliberate intent, providing a vantage point over the fields that stretch toward the low-lying basin of the Memramcook River. Moisture gathers in the hollows near Melanson Settlement Lake, where the light at dusk turns a bruised, metallic violet, clinging to the reeds long after the sun has slipped beneath the tree line. This terrain, defined by its proximity to the shifting tides, maintains a stillness that settles over the meadows, grounding the landscape in a cycle of damp mornings and cooling evenings. The history of Painsec reflects the persistent labor of those who cleared the brush to carve out homesteads upon this uneven ground. Agriculture once served as the primary pulse of the local economy, with families working the soil to sustain themselves against the northern winters. Today, the pace of life remains tethered to the seasonal shifts, favoring a pragmatic endurance over the rapid expansion seen elsewhere. While the proximity of the coast continues to influence the temperament of the land, the daily life of Painsec persists with a modest, internal gravity, unconcerned with the noise of distant urban centers.
Painsec s’étire sur les terres basses de la région de Westmorland, là où l’air salin venu de la côte atlantique imprègne chaque rangée de terre labourée et chaque clôture de bois gris. À l’approche du crépuscule, une lumière dorée et fragile glisse sur les pentes douces qui mènent vers la colline Scotts, révélant la patience des hommes qui ont défriché ce sol tenace pour y établir leurs foyers. À peine à deux kilomètres, les eaux calmes du lac Melanson Settlement retiennent le ciel, offrant un miroir immobile au passage des nuées, tandis que la rivière Memramcook serpente à six kilomètres de distance, marquant de son tracé sinueux les limites d’un héritage acadien profondément enraciné dans cette géographie. Painsec conserve une allure de quiétude laborieuse, où le souvenir des anciennes cultures agricoles se devine encore dans la rectitude des champs et le silence des granges abandonnées aux intempéries. La rigueur du climat façonne le quotidien des habitants, forgeant une existence sobre et attentive aux soubresauts de la nature, loin des agitations urbaines. Ici, la terre porte la trace des générations qui ont appris à lire les signes des saisons dans la texture même du sol, faisant de Painsec un espace de persévérance où le passé et le présent se confondent dans le souffle constant de l’Atlantique.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Painsec is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
